The Los Angeles Police Department says it started at Beverly and San Vicente boulevards in Beverly Grove. At some point, officers upgraded it to a pursuit involving an assault with a deadly weapon suspect.
The suspect led officers on a chase through portions of the San Fernando Valley before it ended in a crash on the westbound side of the freeway in Chatsworth around 2:20 a.m. Saturday.
Police say the suspect refused to get out of the car for about an hour before they were taken into custody.
